I can confirm the problem. XDesktopContainer.cpp line 601. waitpid(pid, NULL, 0); Hangs the desktop.

@Poltawer as mentioned before, if you care enough - please open a GitHub issue.

I cannot help here; one will need to compare how you compiled (e.g. configure features) the old version vs the new version.

I've been using idesk for a long time. I'm currently using release 0.7.5, and everything still works fine with it. For example, I can use one icon to open as many Firefox windows as I want at the same time. However, having to close the previous window to open the next one is not correct.

@Poltawer you can open an issue on the GitHub repository, or better submit a PR to fix it.

The behavior has always been like that since the very first version of idesk, as far as I remember.

The program either does not work or works incorrectly. Icons are loaded on the desktop. When you click the mouse cursor on an icon, the corresponding program starts, but the next click does not start a new process, but a subsequent click does not start a new process; instead, it queues it, and it will be run when the previous process is closed.

It's updated now, and pointing to my GitHub fork. Let me know if there are any issues; I tested it and builds fine.

I added a librsvg dependency since in my fork I added back SVG support and there's lots of SVG icons around nowadays.

@neagix, yes, I think it would be ideal if you updated this to build from your fork.

neagix commented on 2023-08-29 13:40 (UTC)

Should I make this package point to my fork?

This has flagged out-of-date since 2022-12-15 by @Rodrigues with the following comment:

https://github.com/neagix/idesk/releases/tag/v0.7.8

I am re-flagging it, since there are two patches committed on top of that release; the last of which includes the imlib2 pkg-config patch, making the separate imlib2-config.patch file hosted on AUR unneeded.

Hence, the latest available version is:

idesk 0.7.8.r2.g40a0a42

As per the continuation fork's README.md clarifies, can depend on startup-notification. This has been true even in the last original 0.7.5 release, only that readme mentioned it very briefly, and didn't convey unambiguously that it is for an optional feature.

Also, the readme says:

It [i.e., startup-notification] is disabled by default but can be overridden by specifying '--enable-libsn' on the configure script's command line.
